About
I am a textile designer and artist living on the coast of Rhode Island. Throughout my career I have designed textiles and created artworks for the residential, hospitality and contract textile industry., while sustaining a personal art practice. As a designer, I create artwork in a variety of mediums and techniques that are reproduced as woven, print and embroidery fabrics. As an artist, I am a weaver. Inspired by people, nature and our relationship with the environment and human experiences.. In its simplest form a thread holds memory. It is woven, entangled, knotted and stitched, forming layers of texture, pattern and structure connected to the hand, mind and spirit. I unravel or manipulate an existing textile and rearrange the threads with new threads on my loom, merging the past with the present. Through this work, I express the fragility of life on earth and how as humans we have the ability to embrace our past while creating new patterns and structures to bring about positive change in ourselves, and our relationships with the enviornment and each other.
I am always open to new partnerships and commissions and I welcome the opportunity to meet with you!
